Victoria Park/Stampede (formerly named Stampede until 1995) is a stop on the South Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta. The sation opened on May 25, 1981 as part of the original South line.
The station, located on the exclusive LRT right of way, 1 km South of the City Hall interlocking beside Macleod Trail just north of 17 Avenue SE, serves Stampede Park, the site of the Calgary Stampede as well as the communities of Beltline and Mission. A pedestrian bridge crosses Macleod Trail from the station towards Uptown 17th Avenue.

The station registered an average of 3,200 weekday boardings in 2005.[1]
